4. Plant Watermelons:
- Plant seeds three times deeper than their length or introduce seedlings started indoors or purchased. Ensure frost threats have passed before planting.
5. Watermelon Care:
- Provide ample sunlight and shield the plant from strong winds.
- Water regularly, as watermelons thrive with abundant water.
- As the plant grows, offer support using a trellis or other means for the heavy vines.
- When the fruit appears, create a supportive hammock using flexible materials like fabric or pantyhose, securing it to the main watermelon support. Adjust the hammock as the watermelon grows.
- Water daily in temperatures below 80°F (27°C) or twice a day in higher temperatures.
- Apply water-based fertilizer weekly or opt for slow-release granular fertilizer monthly.
